Why to become a member?

1

Greetings from the former President

Why to become a member of the European Society of
Neurosonology and Cerebral Hemodynamics, the ESNCH?
You have many good reasons!

2

History and present status

The ESNCH was found in May, 27 1997 by Prof. David Russell (Founding President).
At present the society has 570 members, and 46 countries are represented (2002).
To get even more powerful, you should become a member as well.

3

Other societies are mainly anonymous.

This society provides familarity and is an excellent forum for young researchers to present their work

4

The members of this society...

...represent a medical elite being able to correlate vascular findings with the clinical situation.

5

Ultrasound is...

...an easy-to-access, dynamic, highly reliable and reproducible, very informative technique, enabling you to make therapeutic decisions.

6

You see...

...a multi-channel ultrasound probe attacking a thrombus in an artery, the beam already perforating the clot.

7

The add-value for sonographers is...

...the exchange of knowledge and the potential
scientific collaboration above the clinical routine.

8

This is true for all countries without any cultural barrier!

9

As a member...

...you will get the latest news and the
highest level of knowledge in the cerebrovascular field.

10

ESNCH is...

...the presently most successful neurosonology group in the world.
The No.1 forum for the transfer of new ideas. The picture symbolically
demonstrates that scientific expertise is always not far from money.

11

Cerebrovascular ultrasound has revolutionized...

...our thinking on cerebrovascular diseases and the dynamics of stroke. Even the most tricky cerebrovascular problems have been solved so far and will be solved in the future.

12

We practice already the European community...

...by standardizing and raising the level of performance.

13

You may belong to this...

...pressure group!

14

Our fee is as deep as possible!

We do not waste money for superfluos trips, expensive dinners
and luxurious hotels of the officers.

Only 25 euro per year.

15

For you,...

...we advertise cerebral ultrasound
to whom ever you want us to do this.

16

For you we advertise...

...cerebral ultrasound
to whom ever you want
us to the scientific
community, even in the
remotest areas of the world.

17

Members of this society are...

...very active in teaching
and learning.

ESNCH members are always
one step ahead.

18

Cerebrovascular ultrasound is a strongly developing field ...

... always with completely
innovative facets.

19

ESNCH and its present highlights

• Embolus detection

• Cerebral perfusion imaging

• Encapsulated drugse.g. gene delivery

• Shunt diagnosis

• Sonothrombolysis

• Targeted contrast agents for molecular imaging

19.1

Embolus detection

19.2

Sonothrombolysis

19.3

Encapsulated drugs

20

You quickly get the global view!

• As a member you define the neurovascular standards in Europe and beyond.
• As a member you get updated and very detailed information about the clinical
meaning of ultrasound in acute and chronic cerebrovascular diseases

21

Our officers...

...have strong relations to
other important
European neurological
societies,
e.g. the EFNS Task
Forces or European
Stroke Council.

This makes your
society strong and
influencial!

22

Cerebrovascular ultrasound has...

...a promising
future in a world of shortening resources

23

Ultrasound is...

...best compatible with a
clean and humane world.

Simultaneously, we care for one of the
most frequent diseases, i.e. any type of stroke.

We also care for the most complex entity
in the universum, i.e. the human brain.

24

The society annually supports...

...the International Congress on Neurosonology and Cerebral Hemodynamics to be held in annually changing European countries.

You will have add-value by being within a functioning society, which organizes a high-rank ultrasound meeting every year.
As a member you will get a reduced fee.

25

As a member...

...using the website of the
society you will have the possibility to chat
with leading scientists in the field of
neurosonology and cerebral hemodynamics.

You will also get the abstracts of the annual
ESNCH meeting and special key articles
presented on our website free of charge.

Eventually you may also get books by mailing.

26

You are member of...

...an international well-known
society. This may be
important for your
curriculum vitae.

27

The executive commitee...

...of the ESNCH shown in the following picture cordially invites you to join us and welcomes you as a member of this society. Thank you very much!
